Registration begins at 3:30 pm
Keswick is hosting the next in-person CEU program. Social workers and case managers are welcome to attend. Joanna Frankel, MSW, LCSW-C of Frankel Care will give a presentation on the Ethical Dilemmas In Dementia Care.
When there is a diagnosis of permanent dementia like Alzheimer’s disease, numerous ethical dilemmas arise. Ethical challenges occur when clinicians are navigating communication and end-of-life with persons with dementia. There are also ethical issues involving privacy and confidentiality when the families of persons with dementia are involved. How do we balance self-determination with commitment to client/primacy of patient? Join us for this interactive ethical discussion on how to best serve persons with dementia and their families.
Learning Objectives:
- List three ways normal aging is different from permanent dementia
- Name two types of permanent dementia
- Identify two common ethical dilemmas in dementia care
- List two places in their code of ethics/regulations that can be turned to for help in ethical dilemmas in dementia care
